    The celebration will be held at the film music concert “Minimalism in Motion: Glass, Nyman and Beyond,” which will be held at Muziekcentrum De Bijloke in Ghent. During the concert, a selection of Glass’ work will be performed by the Brussels Philharmonic conducted by Dirk Brossé, who personally presented the award to Glass in New York.

    While initially renowned for his work for opera and his symphonies, Glass has made an equally impressive contribution to film music. He has received three Oscar nominations for best original score for Kundun, The Hours and Notes on a Scandal.

    Glass, 88, has received many other accolades, including a BAFTA Award, a Drama Desk Award and a Golden Globe Award, as well as nominations for four Grammy Awards, and a Primetime Emmy Award. He has also received the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 1995, the National Medal of Arts in 2010, the Kennedy Center Honors in 2018, and a Trustees Award from the Recording Academy in 2020.

    Glass’s work was recognized at the World Soundtrack Awards in 2007 with two nominations for his score for Notes on a Scandal.

    This year’s WSA Film Music Days will be held from Oct. 14-16 during Film Fest Gent (Oct. 8-19). Tickets to the film music concert are now available on filmfestgent.be and worldsoundtrackawards.com.
